Gabby's was ok, but certainly not something I would recommend anyone stopping in for considering all the other options in this area. The service here was really good, and our waiter even split the ticket 12 ways, which was something we found rare in Toronto.
We ordered a large plate of their fries with their version of "poutine" on top to share amongst ourselves. This was my first attempt to find this Quebecian craze in Toronto, and should have led me to stop my search, but my diligence continued to bring me disappointments. Here, they just sprinkle some crated cheese on top and cover it with a boring brown gravy. Sure it tastes ok, because gravy makes just about anything taste like gravy, which is usually a moderately good thing. The problem is I wanted to see what the real thing was like, most specifically the cheese curd portion, but I suppose I'll have to wait to visit Montreal to find that out.
As far as dinner goes the fajitas I ordered turned out pretty good, with the one flaw being what i considered a lack of meat, accompanied my mountains of onions and peppers. The flavors were all pretty generic fajita flavors, with the usual assortment of condiments on the side. They definitely looked like the best thing on the table, so I would have to recommend it if you must eat here.
The beer selection here is kind of mediocre, but the prices are pretty fair compared to most everywhere else on King. Come here if you have a large group and the other restaurants on the strip won't sit you.
